Try the ExtFile or LocalFS products. They both allow you to store files outside of Zope. To add one more for confusion issues: ExternalFile seems to target the same job.
I did not test all three but I will have to use one of them for the following purpose: My application has to store images and descriptional informations about those images. For all description stuff I would like to use PostgreSQL but I would like to store the images themselves in the local file system and just the complete path in the database (quite usual for this purpose if I'm informed correctly). Now I have to create image file objects dynamically from my application which has kind of "Upload image" mechanism. I would like to have an easy to use create_externel_image method but the documentation how to do that is quite sparse for all three products. Some examples, how to do that would be helpful. Moreover I would like to have a comparison of the differences of these three just to decide for the right one for my application. Kind regards Andreas.
